Pleas help! Can I use NIX lice shampoo for mites on ball pythons?

I just ordered it!! What do you recommend using? I've heard about vegetable oil, olive oil, hartz flea and tick shampoo but I don't know what to do because I've never owned a snake until June 22.

olive oil, will kill mites on your snake. totally cover the whole snake and make sure you rub it in good in spaces around the eyes and also under the cloacal scale. after a few minutes wipe the snake down and keep either on newspaper or paper towels until the next shed. according to pyhons of the world vol 2 by david and tracy barker.
